Before, during and after this period Shuggie Otis continued to work as a session musician party for his father's (Johnny Otis) ongoing productions at his own Hawk Sound Studios, where much of Information Inspiration was recorded. This record, In Session Information, is the best of the sessions Shuggie recorded around the same period in the same studio and with many of the same sidemen. The specific project Johnny Otis had embarked upon was to record some of the pioneers of R&B in a modern context for release on the Blues Spectrum label series. Shuggie was used as session guitarist, pianist, arranger and writer.
